Oh I thought it was a proposed high end street version. Imagine how that little beastie handles!

I put in a reservation about a month ago. No clue when I will get mine. 2022? maybe 2023 and I am number 11 at my dealership. I think this is the best looking sports car in the last decade or so. I can think of few sports cars that I think look better.

It's not a limited-production car so they'll be making every single one they have orders for. You'll have it next year at current estimates.

Lotus nailed it on this one.

Sounds like MSRP for US First Edition is $93,900 per a local dealer my friend has a deposit with. Not sure which drivetrain or what that includes.

Interesting, didn't realize they were using a heavily detuned version of the AMG M139 at 260HP.

Looks amazing

Ha, same. Figured maybe they'd unplugged a spark plug to cripple it that badly.

Wheelwright · 10-27-2021, 06:45 PM

Canadian $119,888 for the first edition V6 which is comparable to a decently equipped Cayman 4.0. Tempting if it can hold its value compared to the Porsche.

Love to have an Exige, but this Emira is a hard pass for me. Hardtop only and only 400 HP for $94k. Oof
